Businesses Face the Same Problems

What could an accountant possibly know about running a plumbing and heating business?

No doubt that's a question that has crossed your mind.

Well let me explain.

After completing his accountancy training in 2006, Aaron became the finance director of a large plumbing, heating and renewable energy firm. That is where his love of the industry started. In 2011 Aaron started Together We Count. An accountancy firm that specialises in the plumbing and heating industry.

Aaron has encountered hundreds if not thousands of plumbing and heating companies. From start-ups to growing businesses, from failing to succeeding businesses, from sole traders to limited companies, from local to national companies and from zero employees to hundreds.


As Aaron explains in this video, that level of access to so many different businesses has given him an insight into all the peaks and pits of this ever-changing industry.




If you have a problem then there is a very good chance that Together We Count have the knowledge and expertise to guide you, advise you and support you in solving your problems.

Yes, every business is unique, but ultimately a business has a life cycle. You may be halfway through your business cycle. Together We Count have been around that cycle more times than a hamster on a wheel at 2am!

Did you know that 60% of businesses fail in the first three years?

More Information- CJRS and SEISS

As we start another week,  I felt it was important for me to share the latest updates with you regarding the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme and the Self-Employed Income Support Scheme. HMRC Recovery Powers HMRC have put together the draft legislative package to reclaim payments under CJRS and the Self-Employed Income Support Scheme. This is subject to a HMRC consultation which comes to an end on 12th June. Under the draft legislation, HMRC will have the power, by way of a 100% tax charge, to recover payments which were either: Not due Not used to pay wages and PAYE Not used to make pension contributions Penalties will be imposed where there has been deliberate non-compliance. This comes at the same time as HMRC have notified that, to date, they have picked up on nearly 2,000 fraudulent CJRS claims to date. This is, in part, due to ongoing calls to their Fraud hotline number 0800 788887 and also through their online whistle-blower report webpage. Big reminder – 10th June last dat...

WARNING - Self Employed Take Note

Who does this affect? Unincorporated businesses (sole-traders, partnerships, and limited liability partnerships) whose accounts year does not end between 31st March and 5th April.  What is the present position? For a particular tax year, you are normally taxed on the net profit per the accounts which end in that tax year.

The Government intend that all self-employed will pay tax and national insurance based upon net profit aligned to the tax year itself and not the accounting year end.

However, if the change comes into effect, for tax purposes, you will need to report your self-employed income and expenditure incurred based upon the tax year a...
